MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
The Democrats Win at Most Places in
the State in the City Elections.
The municipal elections passed off usu-
ally without excitement. In some Of the
towns there was no opposition ticket and
the stream flowed smoothly. In other
places, notably Statesville and Asheville
the rugged current of opposition caused
the waters of public sentiment to ripple
roughly. But all is quiet now.
In Raleigh.
The Democrats carry 12 of the II Alder
men. The following were elected:
First Ward-C. G. Latta, W. w. Briggs
and w. N. Smelling Democrats. There
was no opposition.
Second Ward-Fab Honneycutt Gnd
Harris Rep}. This ward is usually Re-
publican throughout.
Third Ward-Practicall no opposition.
The Democratic nominees, p. Cowper, c..
E. Cross, J. y. MacRae, E. G. Smith and
E. B. Engelhard, weye elected.
Fourth Ward-J. H. Harris, W. H. Math-
ews and J. H. Jones, all colored Republi-
cans, elected.
Fifth Ward-An independent ticket in
this ward made the election interesting.
Messrs. J. S. Wynne G. B. Edwards and
Jno. W. Horton-all Democrats

In New Berne.
Only one regularly nominated Demo-
crat was elected Alderman Mr. Pat
Williams; two Independent Democrats, J.
V. Williams and B. B. Lane: and two Re
publicans, V. A. Crawford and H. Q.
Canady. On the Graded School question
light vote-So6 votes-was polled 81
in its favor, and 333 against the school.
The Journal does not say whether this is
a majority Of the registered votes. We
presume not and entertains fears that the
school is defeated.
LATER.-The school was defeated. The
Journal says if Democrats had work as
hard for the school as in the scramble for
city offices, the result would have been
different. Millions for petty offices; not
one cent for education.
In GoIdsborO.
Out of 9 Aldermen elected, s are Demo-
Gratis. They are good and true men. The
vote on the Graded School was: For, 61S;
Against, 21S-a majority of 400 The
total registration was ,154. The vote
was the school was 40 more than needed.
Hurrah for Goldsboro and its public spirit.
The Messenger and the Argus stood
side by side and fought nobly and ably
for the school. The people owe them
gratitude. In our experience in journal
ism we have known no papers to battle
more earnestly ami effectively for Il good
cause than the Messenger and Argus bat
tied for the Graded Schools. All honor
and much prosperity attend such journals.
